Drinking water
Viega offers comprehensive support and various solutions to ensure the highest drinking water quality.
- Personal consultation on site and in seminars at 15 locations worldwide keep you up to date with the latest science and technology. Software and products for planning and installing simple drinking water networks ensure drinking water quality. Hydraulically simple networks favour the regular exchange of water and reduce construction costs.
- A wide range of materials suitable for drinking water and tested are available to suit every water quality: from gunmetal/silicon bronze to copper, stainless steel, galvanised steel and plastics. With the Viega Sanpress Inox and Raxinox piping systems, drinking water installation from the house connection to the tapping point is quickly and economically even possible completely in stainless steel.
- Viega pipe systems are pressed. This connection technology is extremely leak-proof and faster than most alternative installation methods. In addition, no dirt is introduced into the drinking water installation.
- Automatic flushing systems ensure proper operation, i.e. regular water exchange in pipes, if there are interruptions in use.
- Assistance systems report when limit values for water temperatures and dwell times are exceeded. Operators can take measures before drinking water hygiene is impaired.
Fire protection
Tested fire protection solutions from Viega simplify installation and reduce construction costs.
Examples:
- All Viega piping systems can be installed at zero distance, even to many external systems such as exhaust air and waste water pipes. This saves installation space and provides more usable space.
- Viega's fire protection solutions have been tested. The corresponding verifications simplify the fire protection approval.
- Viega's tested solutions often allow expensive fire protection products to be replaced by more cost-effective ones. This applies, for example, to insulation to protect pipelines against fire. Or on pipe penetrations in fire protection walls and fire protection ceilings against the passage of fire and smoke.
Design & Comfort
Viega offers a wide range of products to economically implement the creativity of architects. The practical benefit for patients with limited mobility and for nursing staff is a matter of course. Viega has already won over 100 design awards.
For example
- a height-adjustable WC element. It supports the mobilisation of patients. The height adjustment is de-energised.
- The Advantix Vario wall drain for barrier-free showers. The floor is completely free to walk on, the drain is discreet in the wall and easy to clean.
- Non-contact WC push plates. In hospitals, most germs are transmitted via hand contacts. The contactless operation of the toilet flush is therefore an important contribution to hygiene.
- Individual room control Smart Control for surface temperature control. The room thermostats have a strong design, the control technology behind them a strong energy efficiency. Energy savings total up to 20 percent.
Sustainability
For investors, architects and operators of hospitals and other facilities, this includes the long-term usability of a property at the lowest possible operating costs.
This also means, for example, economical use of water and energy resources. Viega Healthcare makes this possible over the entire life cycle of a healthcare facility:
- Demand-oriented planning of drinking water and heating installations saves construction and consumption costs.
- The short-term and long-term availability of more than 17,000 products helps to meet tight construction times. At the same time, even after many years, all parts are still available for the maintenance or expansion of installations.
- Maintaining the quality of drinking water protects the health of patients and water as a resource. Operators of healthcare facilities are protected from costly business interruptions, which almost always occur when the drinking water quality is objected to.
- Tempering rooms above the floor and/or walls and ceilings makes the use of renewable energy sources more efficient, for example in combination with heat pumps.
- Innovative control technology and open interfaces for integrating Viega systems into building automation save costs for maintenance, servicing and adaptation to changing operating conditions.
